It would probably be more important for pre-school to be subsidized. Just imagine how much better off the country would be if every child, regardless of what's going on at home was able to get an education before public school. Think about the crimes that will never be committed because some kid got on the right track early.
My wife is a teacher, and sees the difference between kids who went to pre-k versus the ones with no previous formal education. My 4 month old daughter just started day care, and it's basically a school with a curriculum. She'll be there all the way up until the time she goes to kindergarten. There's no one who can tell me she(or any other kid) won't have a head start against other kids who can't afford it.
The country would be better off if EVERY child had the opportunity to do this. It's the one socialist thing that even rich people should get behind. Those tax dollars paying for that inner city kid's pre-school might be the thing that keeps that same kid from breaking into your house 20 years later to murder your family --- or gives you an employee who will increase your profits.
